Sophia and Heather are two friends who say they have no previous knowledge of statistics. They are going to take a placement test to see if they should start at the introductory level or not.
The placement test is a multiple-choice test with 60 questions. Each question has 4 multiple-choice options with exactly one correct answer.
What is the expected number (mean) of correct answers if a student were to randomly guess? (Do not round)
What is the standard deviation for the number of correct answers if a student were to randomly guess? (Round to two decimal places)
The usual number of correct answers, if a student were to randomly guess, would be to . (Round to the nearest whole number that would be within the interval.)
What is the probability of getting 12 or more questions correct if you are randomly guessing? (Round to four decimal places.)
What is the probability of getting 38 or more questions correct if you are randomly guessing? (Round to four decimal places.)
Sophia got 12 questions correct.
Heather got 38 questions correct.
Is it reasonable to believe that Sophia had no prior knowledge of statistics?
- yes
- no
Why or why not?

Statistics question
A student is taking a multiple-choice exam in which each question has four choices. Assume that the student has no knowledge of the correct answers to any of the questions. She has decided on a strategy in which she will place four balls (marked A, B, C, and D) into a box. She randomly selects one ball for each question and replaces the ball in the box. The marking on the ball will determine her answer to the question. There...
